Highly Suspect Reviews: The Beekeeper

The Beekeeper Movie Review

THE BEEKEEPER MOVIE REVIEW

Jason Statham. Identify Theft. Bees. What do these things have in common? Well, the new David Ayer action movie of course! Jason Statham stars as the titular beekeeper who is living a modest life as a companion of sorts to Eloise (Phylicia Rashad). Once Eloise is scammed out of all her money by an evil corporation led by Josh Hutcherson, Statham’s Adam Clay takes vengeance to a whole new level. As Clay’s wrath climbs to the top of the organization, Wallace Westwyld, played by Jeremy Irons, tries to control the situation by uncovering Clay’s past. We find that Statham isn’t some ordinary beekeeper, but an ultra elite commando…beekeeper! Listen as Wright, Nathan, and Eric buzz about the ridiculous plot, action, and “bee” puns with The Beekeeper!

” width=Wright Sulek (Screener Squad, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Trash in the Can, Audio Editor)

Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox.

 

 

Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)

A recent transplant to Austin originally hailing from the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the Midwest, Nathan Flynn has been a movie super freak since he saw “An American Werewolf in London” way too young and grew up worshipping the James Bond franchise and all things related to Cold War-era spycraft. When he’s not watching movies and being a constant defender of the Tron franchise, he can be found practicing his second biggest love: cooking (having been a chef for 10+ years) and hitting his head up against a desk to write screenplays that nobody reads. He also spearheads his own podcast on the Mission Impossible franchise titled “Mission: Impodible”. He can be found rarely posting on his personal twitter.

 

 

” width=Eric Samaniego (Trash in the Can, Highly Suspect Reviews)

Eric is a multi-award show watching, sometimes comedian, sometimes writer that began life as a Muppet and 1930’s screwball comedy obsessed goon and continues to carry a torch for all things felt and funny. With a passion for genre films, poor taste, and whiskey, he and co-conspirator, Wright Sulek, indulge in the best/worst films the world has to offer with One of Us’s podcast, ‘Trash in the Can’. When not podding, Eric works as an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797.
